Lubec Channel Lighthosue Painting

Lubec Channel Lighthouse sits on the American side of the waterway between Lubec, Maine and Campabello Island in Canada. The painting above is from reference photos I took while visiting the area by boat so I was able to get very close and pick the best angle to view the lighthouse from. This painting is part of a project I'm working on to visit and paint all of Maine's still-existing lighthouses. Lubec Channel Lighthouse is a caisson style lighthouse also known as a "sparkplug" lighthouse. It was built in 1890. In 2006 it was considered obsolete by the US Coast Guard and sold to a private owner. It is currently sinking to one side and I fear unless something is done it may eventually be lost, which makes this painting all the more special as the lighthouse may be on borrowed time.
